what is the ultimate sin?

[cacian]

I say banning. I think once we start taking off there is no stopping us.
And or
radioactivity ie infra red light in gadgetry.


what say you?

[cafolini]

There is great difficulty in talking about sin, but I'll go with banning without doubt. In any case, what would be banned would take away an excellent example of stupidity most of the time. Why would we want to hide idiocy? It is banned by the show for anyone doing some "genuine thinking," leaving behind important knowledge. LOL

[JBI]

Violence. In any of its forms.

Idiocy is an occuring phenomena that goes against nature. An idiot is not normal but let's call it a mental defficiency of cells in the brain due to outside factors such as radioactivity present in the atmosphere.
Idiocy does not hide it does not know the time of the day.

Much as I like this answer, I am going with hypocrisy, especially among those who like to condemn others for their sins.

There are many. Thinking one has the power to be or not to be, for example, is one of the most idiotic and shameless. It is absolutely impossible to be or not to be without already being a-priori.

Well one IS already. To ask oneself allegorically whether one is or isn't is like beating oneself up with a pillow. Consider this. You would be not be asking if you were not already.

The so-called Sin Against the Holy Ghost, at least in Christian tradition. Not sure what consititutes that sin. Seems to
have something to do with giving up all hope for salvation and going on to commit suicide?

Makes you wonder what Dante meant by "Abandon all hope who enter here."

I still to this day do not know what this holy ghost is about. It sounds like a pagan religion to me. Paganism tend to spiritualise about outer bodies wriggling about the place.
Salvation is linked to sin and it makes one think and what if one does not sin where does that leave salvation?
About Dante "Abandon all hope who enter here." is synonymous of an afterlife and only upon dying.


''Dante Alighieri wrote this allegorical epic poem between 1306 and 1321. Virgil is the guide who takes the reader through the author's examination of the afterlife, which travels through the Inferno (Hell), the Purgatorio (Purgatory), and the Paradiso (Heaven).''

This piece an allegorical meaning it is a play on word.
There also seem to be three stages Hell/purgatorial/heaven.
The order in which the afterlife is subdivided does not make sense because what it is suggesting is that one must enter hell first. This implies sinning first. Then purge oneself from it.then enter heaven. Catch24 I say the meaning of life and all that.
The afterlife however portrayed by the pharoahs is different because it suggests that the afterlife is the heavens and no others which explains why the pharoahs did what they did with the valleys of the kings and their momification.
Dante afterlife is die to sin to purge then to heaven. Three impossible steps.
Pharoas todie to go to heaven. Mummification was their afterlife.
My approach is a different one earth is the path to the heavens because earth is the certe to entering the heavens and not after.
So to go back to Dante what he is suggesting is that once in hell one has not chance of getting out and so making is to heaven is not going to happen hence ''abondon all hope ye who enter here''

Violence. In any of its forms.

It seems to me that violence is not a sin at all. A ‘violent’ act is marked by great physical force or roughness. Some of the “forms” of violence which are not sinful are: playing football, hunting, defending oneself against attackers, stomping on a sand castle one built oneself, and any number of other “forms”.

“Sin” is a religious word. It suggests a transgression against divine authority. I suppose there are divine authorities (although not those with which we Westerners are familiar) who disapprove of football or stomping on sand castles. However, if as modern atheists we translate “divine authority” into “generally accepted moral codes”, then football doesn’t qualify.

The Catholic church listed the seven deadly sins as anger, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy and gluttony. None of them are behaviors – instead, they are states of mind. Dante classified anger, envy and pride together as being perversions of love. They involve a failure to love our neighbors properly (or, in the case of pride, excessive self love). The other sins involve love for the material and venal: sensual pleasure in the case of lust; material goods in the case of greed; physical pleasure in the case of gluttony. Sloth suggests a spiritual (rather than physical) laziness – the person who holds strong opinions, but is unwilling to study or think carefully about them is guilty of sloth.

Behaviors can be “sinful” – in other words, they can result from sin. The sin itself, though, is the state of mind that accompanies the behavior. Of course it’s reasonable to think that a state of mind cannot be “immoral”. However, why use religious words like “sin” if we are not going to consider what they mean?

The ultimate sin is cornering a mouse and teaching it to eat cheese and peanut butter without letting it taste.
